I predict that mandated digital TV will go the way that the mandate to go to the metric system did. I.e. it never happened.
My wife was totally freaked out about that. The only two things that would have directly affected her were the car's speedometer and the width of material for sewing. I asked her how she knew how fast she could go now. She said, "Well duh, I look at the speed limit sign and match my speedometer to it." I told her it would be the same with the metric system. And then I asked her how she bought material. She said, " I look at the pattern and it tells me how many yards of how wide material I need." I again said it would be the same with the metric system except it would say meters and centimeters and the lady at the shop would have to measure it.
